OPEC member Saudi Arabia has been pumping hefty amounts of oil to lower prices and do what it can to ensure that President Barack Obama is re-elected this November, says billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump on CNBC June 12.

Won’t help. Obama is gone on January 21, 2013.
Unfortunately most people don’t believe anything Trump says.
I wish Trump would shut up and go away. We do not need him and he does nothing for us. Except hurt us.
Exactly, bkepley. He is a fool and sounds like one. He has no credibility and is doing us no favour.
Yeah the crash in oil prices have nothing to do with the huge slowdown in economic activity. It must be a secret deal with the Saudi’s.......
Good grief shut up.
I’ve generally no use for reality tv or Donald Trump.
But he knows how to get a message out and I expect he’s right about Obama, the Saudis and oil prices.
I’m actually glad to see him spreading the word.
Agreed. Soetoro is toast..
I agree with you.
Trump gets way more traction on these shows than 95% of Republican spokespersons.
Yeah, oil prices are so low, we are only paying a little bit more than after Katrina. $1.99 is low. $3.45 is not low.
IMHO - Gas at $4.00 a gallon will hurt Obama.
Gas back down to $3.20 a gallon takes the edge off and doesn’t hurt him as bad.
But he is still in the weeds because that is twice the price we paid on election day 2008.
Should have known it was really for The Won.
Obama’s buddy, Warren Buffett, lost a billion dollars in 2008 running up the price of oil through speculation.
I doubt this. I imagine the Saudis despise Obama like the rest of the world. Noone likes a narcissistic sniveling whiner who blames all his problems on others. Having a strong US is in their best interests.
And many people’s memories don’t go back even that far.
Just finished a ‘discussion’ with a fellow who swears the Koch Brothers are the secret paymasters and puppetmasters for Dunham/Soetoro/Whatshisname.
I am pretty sure he wasn’t kidding.
Oh, and he’d never heard of George Soros.
This guy votes.
Yeow.
Trump = Zero credibility. It is an embarrassment CNBC has a regular weekly feature with this clown.
It was only a few months ago that Obama was begging the Saudis to increase their oil production to ship to the US.
Now we see.
I am paying about $4.30 a gallon here in Fairbanks. Where is my cheap gas?
The Saudi Royal Family needs the US to be strong enough to keep them safe while they fund Islamic imperialism and wahhabi terrorism abroad. They do it to keep Mecca appease the Islamic terrorists who captured the Grand Mosque in 1979.
They don’t love us but they need us while they work to destroy us. It is an unhealthy relationship for us.
Sounds like the loon of the week but it's amazing when you talk to professional looking, middle-upper middle class liberals the things they believe.
Except that Trump is exactly right! Obama's Muslim brothers are going to pump enough oil into the US to likely drop the price of gas below $3.00. Making Obama look like a hero.
Trump is helping greatly by making people aware of the manipulation that is going on. If Obama gets back in you can quickly say goodbye to "cheap" $3.00 gas and start getting cozy with the idea of $5.00 plus per gallon and the coming economic collapse of the United States.
My opinion. Somewhere around $6-$7 per gallon lies the end of our country in less than two years. It will destroy us. The country is too big to afford $6 plus per gallon fuel.
I don’t buy it. Saudis would be much better off vis-a-vis Iran with Romney than with the weak Kenyan.
Pretty much what we already suspected. Par to the course.
Won’t help him though.
He’s done for. Even his own bros (on the bro side) are getting soured
and that’s got to mean something.
Now for the white side, I think they came to their senses a little sooner.
The brainwashed peabrains may take a little longer.
I happen to agree with you on this one! He has inside scoops which can only help. I knew BO was going to do something with the gas prices to make it look as if (hey look - things are starting to work out) you have to re-elect me to see what more I can do. (In is pelosi style voice)
:)
I’m out in the woods, so we’re talking a rural guy, but the narrative was as if in Alice’s mirror. Everything we know has been conclusively proved to be is in this guy’s mind precisely the opposite.
Bright spot: he’s going to go online and check Soros out.
That ought to be interesting to hear about.
Wow. I’ve heard that he’s got a *massive comb-over*; how does that work? Is it all on the back of his head and he swoops it forward? Left to right? Any idea?
Ha! Here it is:

Scroll down thru the hilarious pics!
The Left said the exact same thing about Bush in ‘04.............
I have a hard time believing Donald Trump is a billionaire.
Dang it! That’s my problem! I haven’t been storing it up! My wife and kids say I have it in excess!
Really? Not sure about that.
Yes but we don’t need them. We have enough oil to put them to shame
but the destroyer-in-chief will do what he can to see that we’re dependent until Islam has satisfied it’s goals.
Donald Trump inherited a real estate empire consisting of about 30,000 apartments and homes in New York, along with all the political and business contacts his father built up over the decades. It's not that hard to be a billionaire with that much of a head start.
He's a goofball television personality who thinks we all need to hear his opinions.
The Republicans have Donald Trump, the Democrats have Jerry Springer.
They are trying to lower prices to shut up the conservatives who are clamoring for more drilling in order to become independent of the muslim pigs. It seems to run in cycles whenever oil hits a “breaking point” for the American drivers.
He has the cajones that others are severely lacking
Newsflash. I think they have done it already. Prices started dropping when Obama’s ratings started dropped. His Muslim buddies in the Middle East want to make sure their fellow co-religionist gets re-elected.
I hope the mess in Syria blows up in their faces or the Israelis decide to take out the Iranian Nuclear facilities.
THAT would send prices up again - even higher and destablize them enough it will really hurt him and his arab friends.
Q: The stated goal of the Department of Energy at its inception was_____________________________________

A: “to reduce dependance on foreign oil.”
There’s a couple of problems with this scenario.
1) If war breaks out in Syria, oil prices will jump up again and gasoline prices will follow regardless how generous the Saudis are. Any serious tensions in Egypt will do the same.
2) $4/gal gasoline was the tipping point. Most of America is below that and headed downward while Obama’s poll numbers are still tanking. If gas drops between $2 and $3/gal, will it improve his numbers that much?
3) Europe is still the big question. If that blows up, the price of gas here will not be all that relevant.
All that said, I hope he does have a deal like that because the more oil drops the better for the U.S. economy, the better for an economic rebound and the better for job growth however I don’t think it will happen fast enough to rescue Obama.
It will also kill more expensive “green energy” projects the more gasoline is cheap and available.
I’m very skeptical that such a deal could save Obama at this point. By August, the economic realities of the campaign will be cemented.
And why would the Saudis want Obama re-elected? Because the quid pro quo would be an end to domestic fracking. Of course then ND would turn into Wyatt’s Torch.
Trump is going to prove to be a hindrance to Romney more than a help. On this issue, he needs to produce some form of evidence or STFU.
As in the past, I have major doubts about Trumps intentions anyway. I don’t trust that obnoxious blowhard.
Trump is very much tuned into big business deals & trends, and I think it is just about 100% certain that the Saudis, in fact the entire 1.2 billion muzzies will do anything to re-elect hussein 0dumb0 back in as usurper-in-chief, including manipulating oil prices & production.
And another thing, is that 0dumub0 is such an ultra thin-skinned narcissist, that he can't take the criticism and will snap back with more off-message retorts & gaffes.
We have Peanut Jimmy to thank for that one.
And of course once a FedGov deal gets going, they only get bigger over time.
I spent a week in DC in April.
It’s full of guys in $2000 suits and girls in $500 dresses.
You appear to be one of the few that gets it. Bo got a boatload of campaign funds from the same source in 2008.
